Grapple-fest gets serious
16/02/2005
Training for ITV's Celebrity Wrestling got a little out of hand when one of the contestants was thrown through a dressing room wall.
Athlete Iwan Thomas was practising his moves against former EastEnders actor Marc Bannerman, but got a little carried away.
Marc, who played Gianni Di Marco in the soap, went flying through an interior wall into a bathroom causing thousands of pounds worth of damage, The Sun reports.
The star-studded grapple-fest has already seen TV babes Kate Lawler and Annabel Croft try and inflict some serious damage on each other long before the show actually starts.
Both are out of work and see the programme, which pits six men and six women against each other in a Gladiators-style competition, as the way to get back in the limelight.
Model Victoria Silvstedt, Liberty X star Michelle Heaton and royal cad James Hewitt are also appearing in the show, which hits our screens in March.
